Android chief says your phone should not be your assistant >> AllThingsD
Rubin unleashed (on Siri): "I don't believe that your phone should be an assistant. Your phone is a tool for communicating. You shouldn't be communicating with the phone; you should be communicating with somebody on the other side of the phone."
Remembering Steve Jobs >> Apple
A live page of tributes to the Apple co-founder.
Groupon seeks offering near $12 billion valuation >> NYTimes.com
"Groupon, the daily deal site, is considering an offering valued at close to $12 billion as it prepares for an investor road show next week, according to two people with knowledge of the situation." But if enough people come in then you can get it cheaper?
MediaFuturist: The future of media: re-boot and enjoy.
"Soon, most of the world's Internet traffic will be generated by a huge variety of mobile devices instead of computers, and 'the other 3 billion' users aka consumers in the BRIC countries are coming online at a very fast pace. Remember: 10% more broadband and / or wireless equates to 1% growth in GDP - but also a 1000% percent increase in disruption:) "Give it another 3-5 years and it's very likely that almost 5 billion people will be connected with fast and very cheap (if not free) mobile devices - and they will not 'consume' media and so-called content in the same way that we did when renting a movie still meant getting a piece of plastic that embodied it, or becoming a faithful and constant visitor to the quite beautiful but nevertheless super-walled iTunes garden." People will want access rather than files, he argues.
Currys slashes PlayBook prices to £250 >> PC Pro
"Another tablet's price has been slashed, with Research in Motion's BlackBerry PlayBook now £150 cheaper at one major retailer. Currys and PC World have announced £150 off all models of the PlayBook, with the low end 16GB version dropping from £399.99 to £249.99. "'It looks like they need to get units moving, and it will be interesting to see if this is only PC World and Currys or comes from RIM,' said Geoff Blaber, director of devices and software platforms at analyst firm CSS insight." It comes from RIM. It also comes straight off RIM's bottom line. Its financials are going to be woeful next quarter. (Our local Currys had one on display. Then it didn't. And none replaced it.)
Where Did Cached Pages Go On Google?
"Since Google launched the new instant previews just about a month ago, the question we have seen come up from searchers time and time again is 'where did the cached page go?' "Yes, Google has moved the 'cached' and 'similar' links from near the display URL in the search results and to the instant preview section." Phew.
